ὅτῳ δὲ παρεστήκασιν οἱ παῖδες, τοῦτον μὲν Πτολεμαῖον τὸν Λάγου φασὶν εἶναι: παρὰ δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνδριάντες δύο ἀνδρός εἰσιν Ἠλείου Κάπρου τοῦ Πυθαγόρου, πάλης τε εἰληφότος καὶ παγκρατίου στέφανον ἐπὶ ἡμέρας τῆς αὐτῆς: πρώτῳ δὲ γεγόνασιν ἀνθρώπων αἱ δύο νῖκαι τῷ Κάπρῳ τούτῳ. τὸν μὲν δὴ ἐπὶ τοῦ παγκρατίου καταγωνισθέντα ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ δεδήλωκεν δὲ ὁ λόγος ἤδη μοι: παλαίων δὲ κατέβαλεν Ἠλεῖον Παιάνιον Ὀλυμπιάδα πάλῃ τὴν προτέραν ἀνῃρημένον καὶ Πύθια παίδων τε πυγμῇ καὶ αὖθις ἐν ἀνδράσι πάλῃ τε καὶ πυγμῇ στεφανωθέντα ἐπὶ ἡμέρας τῆς αὐτῆς.
